Icy Pond

.After rushing out to a dump run before 4pm on last Day Off, I took the opportunity to meander on the way back past the Mill Pond on the west end of town just before all the daylight retired.. It's been really cold here, alright- Look at the glossy ice forming. I think the ice has a nifty effect on the reflection quality. I wouldn't try to walk across it tho!.Maybe after the single digit temps out there now the ice'll get thicker, but this isin't a good skating zone, with a dam on the other side..I'm pretty chilly- can't wait to get under the warm blankets today! BbrrhH! TG for old jelly jars full of hot kettle water in a sock- or I'd feel frozen too! Now I just have to brave a shower before beddy-bye, but the cold has me procrastinating..

.

I didn't think all the other versions I did of it came out as well as this one, which also highlights the ice.

Talon, thanks, the color in that pic was amazingly opposite the sunset side, n taken mere seconds before twilight. I had to walk in the cold to get pics too! Guess your chill is deeper, n we haven't had the promised flurries here yet.Snow is always better when ya get to stay home!

Ellis, I've been telling everyone at work that it's icicle time again! They all agreed too! (We feel like iciles) part of work's heat doesn't work, even tho they "Fixed it" Ahem, this week-

Lynn, thanks- I wasn't out there long, but managed to find beauty with the few minutes of light left. I used to visit there alot when I lived not far from there 30 years ago. I really want free week-ends back one of these days!

Gran Annie, I heard it was very chilly out west. You really don't want ice-I've always said dump! Sorry it's not as classy sounding... Folks here just use that term.

Paige, Only 43? that's summer! I wear two or more layers of long-johns, pants, shirts, n socks. I like to have different size shirts so I can layer smaller under larger. There's always flannel to put on top! Heat also helps.

JanF, Hmmm, maybe you need stronger specs! Still says cold here... The Mill pond freezes faster due to being fresh water as opposed to salt. There's no Cod in there tho-I like harmony singing, like in folk n Bluegrass, n do it ok- like in Everly Bros tunes is easy!
